Girl Scout Troop 283 Morse Elementary School Overland Park , Kansas.
Early last year approximately 17 Girl Scouts ages 9 & 10 had a clothing drive to help the children in Calcutta India. The girls worked very hard to gather good used clothing to send to me in Boston where I would sort and re- pack everything and ship it on to my contacts in Calcutta. It was a beautiful project everything worked out perfect. There were so many nice clothes, (about 100 lbs) that I sent the donations to three different places that I work with. This way the Girl Scouts in Kansas could see more of their hard work going to many different children in Calcutta. The first box was sent to the Municipal School, the second sent to St Teresa's School for the Angels from The Street program, and the last box was sent to the Institute of Social work at the Mominpur School. It took a few months for everything to go full circle but in the end the children of troop 283 Morse Elementary School Overland, Kansas received a nice Thank You letter and lots of photos of the good work done. It was a great project for everyone involved. The kids in Calcutta received the beautiful clothing and the Girl Scouts in Kansas learned about the world we live in and how easy it is to help a person in need. A Big THANK YOU to everyone in America and India who stepped forward to help with this special project, especially all the children.
